Ok, cure me please: SPIDERS!

First topic message reminder :

Don't know of it's the curse of this place and that bloody thread About spiders, but over the last few days I've had massive spiders in my house.
They freak me out!!!!

Why are they coming in?
Why are they so freaking big?
What am I so scared of?
HOW CAN I STOP BEING SO FREAKED OUT????

There's no point telling me I'm bigger than them blah blah, there's no point (sassy) telling me they catch flies blah blah or even that they spin little cute webs and make orphans blankets.
I don't care.

I hate them and they freak me out.

Any one got any good cures for me? Please??   

What the fuck?

Did you see that thing? It was the size of an actual dinner plate?
Fuck about!

Not a spider, but a coconut crab, but might give you the willies

The crab doesn't bother me. No idea why.
It's just spiders then.

Digress away. It gets rid of all the spider pics at least.

I fail to see your point.

I counted 10, what's those two little bits at the front, feelers?

Be very careful when you use google. I keep getting this pic up

basically yes they are part of the mouth called 'Pedipalps'

I am not sure what species of spider that is but it is one with elongated Pedipalps(I think it may be some sort of tarantula), they are smaller on most spiders

Eek

Holy motherfucking Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Or in the words of a simple old Yorkshireman: Just where the fuck does all that stuff come from?

There's an advert currently on tv here re Royal Marines, this marine is concealed in the jungle as the ememy or whatever passes by and a large hairy spider crawls off a nearby branch onto his shoulder, then up onto his face, over his eye. The marine of course doesn't move or bat an eyelid. Yuk.
I was going to enlist before I saw that

I bought myself a 2nd hand DSLR camera for my birthday. I'm trying to find a new hobby and think I might like Photography, gives a reason to visit places that you'd otherwise just drive past or bushwalk/4WD to the look outs etc...

since I am just enjoying my day I though I'd give it a go.
First subject a smallish huntsmen in the back room.
I cropped the image so they'd be the right size for the forum, they are huge even on the medium setting





Considering it a few years old the quality is great, I thought I'd need to get a macro lens or something to get spider close ups

What the fuck? Are you trying to upset me??

So...this is me...
